Default How Are The Atp Turbo Kits?

I'm looking at getting the gt3076r made by atp.. it will fit in stock locations.. and requires minimum modification. I was wondering how durable the turbo kits are and what are the pros and cons.

Im curious too? Looking at ATP GT30 as well... Was leaning more to Blouch. The Dom. 3 is basically a Gt30 isnt it? Cheaper too...

I am currently running a ATP GT3071R on my STi. Fitment is good and it comes complete with everything you need to install it. It spools (around 3200rpm) like crazy, I believe the GT3071 spool earlier than the GT3076, like 500rpm. My car is my DD, so the GT3071 fits my needs for street driving. The GT3076 make a little more power on top end. So far, no problem what so ever.

About ATP customer service, I think they are top-notch. When I first had the turbo install by a local shop, I had problems with the tune and the installation and it's not making the power it supposed to. The car ran like s**t. ATP took my car into their shop and spent the time to diagnose the problems and it ended up there's nothing wrong with the turbo. They are very busy but George (the owner of ATP) was very helpful and took the time to explain the findings and recommandations. Also Dave at ATP always responsed my email within two hours or less.

After another protune by a different tuner and my car has been running like a champ ever since.

I know there is more people are running a ATP turbo in this forum cause I PMed with them before, you can do a search on "ATP" and you can find more threads.

TGV delete is not required. I didn't have it done and I didn't use the stepdown sleeve, I have the 3" inlet installed.

I heard this turbo is very fun to drive. the 3071, like the most fun because it spools so quickly and keeps going all the way to redline. Anyone else have any expierence with this turbo, because im definitely thinking about this one for the future. Thanks
